1. This is the #1 reason why so-called "gun registration" is so adamantly opposed here in the U.S. History shows consistently that gun registration requirements always lead to gun confiscation.
2. IF you don't have the bad, dangerous, restricted firearm (in Canada that includes most all firearms now) then they cannot be confiscated. We know quite a number of people in Canada that have "Rock boxes) aptly named after Allen Rock who years ago tried the "buy back, aka: confiscation scheme" in which they have their firearms and which are buried in undiscoverable locations. Why did they do this? For situations like what you are asking about. They refuse to be disarmed and left helpless to lawless individuals... including Marxist dictators such as Justin Trudeau &co.
3. Should a Christian comply with such an order? In the U.S., taken from Scripture and natural law, ALL people have the right to life and the right to defend it with whatever means they can. Joseph Fletcher used to use the infamous challenge to Christians who stood on the biblical truth that lying is a sin, period. In a debate at San Diego State University years ago in a debate with John Warwick Montgomery Fletcher posed that question to him thinking he would force him to violate that cardinal law. The question was in summary, If the Nazis broke into your home looking to roundup and kill all teenage girls of which your daughter was in that category and you aforehand hid her in a closet, would you tell the murderers where you hid here? Or, would you lie? Montgomery's succinct and truthful answer was, "I don't know what I would say in that situation. But, if I did lie then that would be a sin and of which I would confess that sin before God and plead for forgiveness." Of course, he could have said nothing as well. So, should a Christian relinquish their firearms(s) to a tyrannical government upon demand? Methinks Montgomery's answer should suffice. Each individual will have that judgment to make according to their conscience. MANY throughout the world have resisted tyranny knowing that prison or even death would possibly result in their decision. The cause for which they fought was definitely worth it or they would have never resisted, eh?
